BACnet PICS for P-CCS

This section defines the BACnet Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS) for use with ETC's Unison Paradigm Central Control Server (P‑CCS).

Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS)

Vendor Name: Electronic Theatre Controls, Inc. (ETC) – BACnet Vendor ID # 433

Product Name: Unison Paradigm Central Control Server

Product Model Number: P-CCS

Application Software Version: v5.1 or newer

1. Product Description

The P‑CCS BACnet Interface allows a BACnet Client to interface with and control a Unison Paradigm lighting system. BACnet IP Clients physically connect via the Secondary Network Interface of the P‑CCS, positioning the server as a gateway between the Unison system and BACnet client applications. It exposes a series of BACnet objects that reflect the state/condition of Paradigm lighting devices and permits control.
